Pushkar Singh Dhami to continue as Uttarakhand CM
PTI, Mar 21, 2022, 6:02 PM IST
Dehradun: Pushkar Singh Dhami will continue as the Uttarakhand chief minister, said the BJP on Monday, ending the 11-day suspense over it.
The BJP legislative party meeting to elect the new chief minister of Uttarakhand had begun here around 5 pm.
It was attended by BJP’s central observers for Uttarakhand Rajnath Singh, Meenakshi Lekhi, and the party’s poll in-charge for the state, Pralhad Joshi.
Dhami under whose leadership the BJP had contested the February 14 Assembly polls was the frontrunner for the post.
The BJP’s dilemma on the choice of a chief minister for Uttarakhand was caused by Dhami’s loss in Khatima, a seat he had been winning since the 2012 Assembly polls.
The party had won 47 of the 70 seats in the Assembly polls, the results of which were announced on March 10.
